The chief things to be desired in an explosive for blasting are that it hull

TheRöyal Tonic-Food.
Over twelve thousand practising physicians have recorded in writing their high opinion of Sanatogen, and many thousands more are daily prescribing it with the most beneficial results in cases of nervous debility, brain fag, lack of vi- tality, sleeplessness, disordered digestion, poverty of blood, and various wasting diseases. Sanatogen's value than the fact that it is thus Can you ask for more convincing testimony of publicly endorsed and recommended by practi- cally the whole medical profession?
body; when your brain is overworked; when When you are constantly weary in mind and
your nerves are jaded-that is when you need Sanatogen to rebuild and revitalise you
This next step was, the use of eption in combination with nitroglycerin. Alfred Nobel discovered that about one part of guncotton dissolved in ultrogly. cerin produced a jelly-like mass-which- Among the original letters in praise of Sanato- had a greater explosive force than either gen which are filed for public inspection, there or both of them uncombined.
This ate many from world-famous physicians, whose material is used as a base of the blasting gelating and gelatin dynamites which are
names stand for the highest scientific achieve- ' ments. Their advice, and the example of dis- largely used in Western mining at pre tinguished men like those mentioned here, it is sent. They have many advantages over the old-fashioned straight dynamių, in that they are practically water-proof, nore dense and plastic, and are safer, to handle....
"Later it was disenvert that nitrate of ammoniu, a compound which in itself is not explosive, could be combined with nitroglycerin to produce un explosive which is also safer to handle, loss sun- sitivo to shock and friction, and
lower and more rending effect than the. straight nitroglycerin dynamites. .. These explosives are therefore not as good to use in wet work as either the dynamite or gelatin, but they evolve less noxious fumes than the dynamite, and for certain classes of work are superior to either of the others.
"The most recent development has 301bes the introduction of nitrotoluene, which has the property of reducing the freezing-point of nitroglycerin. This is also an explosive compound when mixt with nitroglycerin, and explosives-made of this mixture do not, freeze above a temperature of 32deg. F-that is, they will not freeze until water freezes and will thaw when ice melts. The explo sives made of this combination of uitro glycerin, nitrotoluene, and with or with out guacotton or nitrate of samonia, are culled Red Cross low-freezing powdera.” · Following the actions of foreign govern- menta, Mr. Anderson goes on to tell us, the United States Government has been investigating causes and remedies for accidents in imining.

"A Great Invigorator of Life." Never are Saratogen's effects, more wonder- fully shown than in cases of convalescence after Malaria, Dysentery, Enteric Fever and other exhausting tropical diseases., A strik- ing case in point is that of Mr. Thomas Lysu, co Presidenty Postmaster, G.P.O), Calcutta, who writes :-
**I had been a martyr.to. Malaria for four... years, becoming weaker and weaker, with the naturally run-down condition and brafi fag, nervousness and Dyspepsia. Sanatogen was strongly recommended by a friend, and I am delighted to say that only two bottles have made as extraordinary difference for the better-day, for the best.” I shall always highly recommend Sanatogen everywhere I go."
Sanatogen will give You' New Life.
If you are a sufferet from poor nerves, low vitality or a weak digestion, it is simply a duty you owe to yourself first bottle to-day; you can get it in Hong Kong of and your family to begin the use of Sanatogen. Buy the

And you may take it with the absolute assurance that it will give you a new lease of health, new strength and vitality, stronger nerves, and better digestion.
The Hon. Mr. Juatica
Robertson Judge of the Supreme Court, Lahore, Punjab, writes My experi ence with Sanategen has been very favour able. I took it for some months during the most trying season of the year, and found it”” a great strengthener.?
Sir Charles X. Cament,
CBM-D E writer:-"Sanategen is a substance of the highest nutritive value, containing as it does a large amount of organ ic phosphorus, in ex- actly the form which it can be easily absorb ed. It is an excellent nerve food."
Mr. Shirley Trenerne, Editor of "Capital," 98 Dive Street,. Cal-' cutta, writes:"I can not speak too highly of Saratogen, it not only kept us up during a shup attack of, fever, but afterwards restored me once more to full vigour, In fact, I was better and stronger after this course of Sanatogen than before the stinct."!
